THE STA R The Home Newspaper of Northwest Flo ida's Future Industrial Cent,'r VICTORY BUY VOLUME VII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1944 NUMBER 25 (The Star wants photos of Gulf county men serving in thf armed forces. Pictures, which . should bI, in uniform, will be returned.) tUIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIImii IIIII IIII lllIIII LEO KENNEDY HAILS US FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS The Southwest Pacific. March 12, 194? Dear Editor Bill-I received my first issue of The'Star a few week-- ago and found its contents to be of great interest to me. I not only learned of the everyday happen- ings around old' Port St. Joe, but in your "Write 'Em a Letter" cot- umn I found the' addresses of some of the boys from St. Joe. Some of the boys here thought your "Pearx Harbor" edition to be very good. I did too, but I think every. ed- ition is swell. I will now try to tell you where I anm and some' of the things I see here. I am now in the Fiji Is- lands. This place isn't too 'bad, but it is not Paradise by any means. One thing I get stumped on so much is that its hard to tell men from women, as they all wear skirts. 0, yes, the women aren't as lovely as those babes you setu in those South Sea Island pictures at the Port theater-they are the -reverse of beauty. One thing nice about this place is that we're nofu pestered with any yellow Japrats. Well, I must go, but before sigh- ing off I would like to give my best regards to the people of thll old home town. Pvt. Leo Kennedy, APO 913 34248804 3437th Ord. M.M. Co.

I'm progressing nicely with my basic training, and like New York very 'much but could sure use some Florida sunshine. Miy ,blood is a bit thin for this cold. Would appreciate hearing from my friends, in St. Joe and all the service boys overseas and in the States. Mail call is truly the main event of the dy here, and it Is a big boost to the- morale to hear your name called. Della Ward Spotts. (Ed.

Dear Mr. Smith-I'm sorry that I don't have time to write stories or editorials for The Star every week like some of your patrons, but am taking this much time to thank you for a very fine paper. No one at home knows exactly how much it helps us boys so fa, from home, to keep up with the old town. As for the "Honor Roll," I wouil be very glad to see my friend, James H. Barrington of the navy, among those who serve their country. I have used, up nearly two sub- scriptions to your paper since I came overseas and, have enjoyeO every line of it.

PAID FOR BY FRIENDS OF J. OLLIE EDMUNDS) _i. MILLARD CALDOWELL! ; This Governor's race is a question of men-as well as issues. Florida faces stormy days as the war approaches its end, as our veterans return, as industry and business begin to convert to peace- time pursuits. Our next Governor must be a man capable of piloting Florida safely through the oncoming storms a man who is calm, level-headed, ener- Igetic and sincere; a man of proved business ability *and tested statesmanship. Millard Caldwell is such a man! His record c, public service is outstandi::n. He was a member of the Florida Legislatures of 1929 and 1931 when he was chairman of the important Rules Committee. He served brilliantly as U. S. Congressman from 1932 until 1941 when he volun- .tarily retired to private life. He has never before been a candidate for Governor He has never been defeated for public office. 'He was born on a farm at Beverly, Tenn., in 1897. His father was a successful lawyer; his grandfather a Baptist preacher. He was a star athlete at Carson-Newman College and the Uni- versity of Mississippi where he was still a student when he volunteered as an Army private in World War I. He was commissioned as second lieuten- ant of Field Artillery before the war ended. Later he finished his education with a law course at the University of Virginia. A "DOER" NOT A PROMISEER!

Yours for a Greater Gulf County, C. -. WILSON. NO TAX RABBITS LEFT IN HAT After reading scholarly talks on our tax problems, and after listening to arguments for and against different methods of taxation, one fact stands out clearly-everybody ane his dog must now pay sacrificial taxes, and government extravagance must be cut as drastically as taxes are increased. If we fail to do this, we admit that w., prefer to pass on to the boys at the front nor only the risk of life and limb, but the obli- gation of an unnecessarily high public debt. We make no sacrifice in buying interest- bearing bonds which create debt and in per- petuating every boondoggling political proj- ect, while our fighting men sacrifice their lives and opportunities and families to pre- serve us safe from hardship at home. Unless those enjoying war profits and war wages pay heavy taxes now to hold down the national debt and prevent the devaluation of the dollar, and unless government expenses are cut to the bone, there will be no chance of lowering the tax rate after the war so that industry and the people can have the tax relief necessary to encourage the accurnu- lation of earnings and savings which are es- sential to industrial expansion on a peace-. time basis that will provide permanent jobs for all. No amount of rhetoric can change these facts. "IF" If your monthly bank statement did not show what you thought was the proper bal- ance, what would you do? We can answer that easily. You would hotfoot it directly to the bank and investigate. Why? Because it involved your finances. But, suppose each month when your child brings his report card home that his marks aren't up to what you think they should be? \Vhat do you do? Do you investigate? Do you seek out his teacher and make an hon- est effort to ascertain just why his marks aren't up to par? Do you try to remedy the situation? It's just a thought! Maybe, after all, thl child's future is at stake and could be bright- ened with a little thoughtful co-operation on the part of parents.
